The Compulsive Ramblings Of A Philotherian: 2014

Ah, the time has finally come. The beginning of the end... the last day of 2014. Normally I would do a certain type of blog today, like "A look back!", something along those lines. I think, since I'm not going to be at the house for very much longer, I'm going to save that for tomorrow. I desperately want to go to town for a while. Maybe shop around and get something to eat.

I'm contemplating getting Far Cry 4, mainly because I was drawn to it a couple weeks ago when I first discovered it. It didn't really help that a friend from work and fellow PS4 gamer, Tyler, recommended it due to mass awesomeness. I do have Wolfenstein to play right now, so I don't really need a new game. Not that I get to keep this one, Tyler and I swapped games. He now holds the very life of The Evil Within in his hands. I truly hope he takes good care of it.

I know I'm pathetic, but I so badly want to go back to Walmart to see if they have any left over Christmas items. Not anything big, I just want some more body spray to carry in my purse. After all, 3 different scents isn't hardly enough to satisfy my hunger and longing to have more. I doubt there will be much less, it's been almost a week since everything went on sale!

I wonder how many crazies will be running about today? After all, it is New Year's Eve. I'm kind of scared to even attempt it, but I would like to go out and do SOMETHING for New Years. I would say go see a movie or something, but that would require going to Poplar Bluff -- no telling what kind of madness will take place there tonight. I think I can safely rule that out.

My end of the year depression is slowing starting to creep in. I've been reminiscing for the past week. Either about grandma, dad, or our old house... it's always something. I'm kind of feeling that way now, but that's nothing new for the end of the year. After all, what is the end of the year anyway? It's nothing, just another day. Another day that starts fresh, just like any other day in the year.

Still, I can't help but be sad that another year is almost gone. This will be my last post of 2014... that part IS sad and it IS depressing.

Before I go down THAT road, I think I'm going to call it a day. Remember, to all of you part animals out there, absolutely no drinking and driving. Stay safe, spend time with family and friends, and most of all, have fun.

Love, Peace & Happy New Year's Eve!

Wolfenstein!

A woody woodpecker I saw a little while ago.

I so did not have the energy for yesterday. I just don't have the tact anymore or something. The only thing that makes work doable is Melissa and my BF, Tyler. I love them both, but don't get to work with them enough.

Apparently there was gift giving this year at work. Last year they gave everyone a grab bag with a scratch-off in it and a few other odds and ends. This year they had actual gifts for everyone. The catch? All the morning people got them Friday, then, since I took off Saturday, everyone else got everything Saturday. What was left... Two back massage things, a picture with some type of saying on it, glass coasters, and a punch bowl set. You best believe my ass took the punch bowl set and the coasters.

The damn bowl in the punch bowl set was cracked, go figure. Oh well, the cups that came with it are fucking awesome and I love them. The coasters are pretty lame, but they come in a nice decorative wooden holder, so they're a keeper as well.

I was asking what some of the other gifts were. A lot of them were throws, Cardinals cups, movies, CDs, things from Bath & Body Works, and more! SO not fair that only scraps were left for people like me. Whatever, I got enough loot from Christmas.

I finally managed to get some decent pictures of the joeys today. All outdoor photos, I might add. I used the camera on manual to take Zac's pictures, but a couple are way overexposed. I need to remember that joeys aren't humans, they wont sit still even if you ask nicely, so auto is the way to go! I'm just glad I was able to get SOME decent pictures.

I also took a million pictures of the cats and some more of aunt Sharon's new puppies. It's so nice to live so close to someone with fat little puppies.

Not that I'm planing on doing anything for New Years, but I'm SO glad I don't have to work on New Years Eve or New Years Day... awesomeness! I'm probably not going to do anything, like I said. I may break in the martini set that LaVaughn and I got, that could be fun. I guess we'll figure all that out when we get to it.

Love & Peace

Here are my (extravagant) gifts from work:
